The
steam trawler Lancer was laid down at Smiths Dock &
Company in Hull, and was launched in December 1914. She
was meant to do service as a fish trawler but was bought
by the British Admiralty and put in service as an armed
auxuliary trawler, and renamed HMT Lancer II. Under a
journey towards Newhaven she collided with Yacht Vagrant
18. July 1918 outside Brighton light and was heavily
damaged. She was taken in tow but went down in the deep
not long after. The remains of Lancer rest today on a
depth of 18 to 24 meter approximately three nautical miles
south of Newhaven in Sussex.
